Fire hazard testing - Part 1-21: Guidance for assessing the fire hazard of electrotechnical products - Ignitability - Summary and relevance of test methods
IEC 60695-1-21:2016 provides a summary of test methods that are used to determine the ignitability of electrotechnical products or materials from which they are formed. It also includes test methods in which, by design, ignitability is a significant quantifiable characteristic. It represents the current state of the art of the test methods and, where available, includes special observations on their relevance and use. The list of test methods is not to be considered exhaustive, and test methods which were not developed by the IEC are not to be considered as endorsed by the IEC unless this is specifically stated. This basic safety publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. It is not intended for use by manufacturers or certification bodies. This first edition of IEC 60695-1-21 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC TR 60695-1-21 published in 2008. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Change from a TR to an international standard; - Modified Introduction; - Modified Scope; - Updated normative references; - Updated terms and definitions; - Updates and new text in Clause 4; - Addition of text concerning ASTM D 3638; - Updates to Annex A and Updates to the bibliography. Key words: Fire Hazard, Fire Safety Engineering, Ignitability.

Essais relatifs aux risques du feu - Partie 1-21: Lignes directrices pour l'évaluation des risques du feu des produits électrotechniques - Allumabilité - Résumé et pertinence des méthodes d'essais
L'IEC 60695-1-21:2016 donne un résumé des méthodes d'essai qui sont utilisées pour déterminer l'allumabilité des produits électrotechniques ou des matériaux à partir desquels ils sont fabriqués. Elle inclut également les méthodes d'essai pour lesquelles, par conception, l'allumabilité est une caractéristique quantifiable significative. Elle représente l'état de l'art de ces méthodes d'essai et, lorsque cela est applicable, inclut des observations spéciales concernant leur pertinence et leur utilisation. La liste des méthodes d'essai ne doit pas être considérée comme exhaustive et les méthodes d'essai qui n'ont pas été élaborées par l'IEC ne doivent pas être considérées comme étant entérinées par l'IEC sauf si cela est spécifiquement indiqué. La présente publication fondamentale de sécurité est destinée à être utilisée par les comités d'études pour l'élaboration de leurs normes conformément aux principes exposés dans le Guide IEC 104 et dans le Guide ISO/IEC 51. Elle n'est pas destiné à l'usage par des fabricants ou par des organismes de certification. Cette première édition de l'IEC 60695-1-21 annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC TR 60695-1-21 parue en 2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - Changement d'un TR à une norme internationale; - Introduction modifiée; - Domaine d'application modifié; - Références normatives mises à jour; - Termes et définitions mis à jour; - Mises à jour et nouveau texte dans l'Article 4; - Complément de texte concernant l'ASTM D 3638; - Mises à jour de l'Annexe A et mises à jour de la bibliographie. Mots clés: Risques du feu, l'ingénierie de la sécurité incendie, Allumabilité

FIRE HAZARD TESTING –
Part 1-21: Guidance for assessing
the fire hazard of electrotechnical products –
Ignitability – Summary and relevance of test methods
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal i
